Study Notes
Chemistry Unit Review - SNC2DI
Periodic Table
- Elements are organized by atomic number and properties.
- Periodic table is a table arranging elements in order of increasing atomic number; elements with similar chemical properties are placed in same vertical column, called a group or family.
- Each element has a unique atomic number, symbol, and atomic mass.
Bohr Diagrams of Atoms & Ions
- Atoms are composed of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) and electrons in orbits.
- Valence electrons determine chemical bonding.
- Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons.
- Positive ions have lost electrons (cations).
- Negative ions have gained electrons (anions).
- Bohr diagrams illustrate electron arrangement in an atom or ion.
Ions and the Periodic Table
- Elements in the same group have similar electron arrangements and properties.
- Elements in groups 1, 2, and 17 typically form ions based on gaining or losing electrons.
- Some elements don't follow the pattern of regular ion charges. Exceptions need to be explained.
Chemical Families Names and Charges
- Knowledge of common ion charges required for naming and writing formulas.
- Group 1 (Alkali Metals): +1
- Group 2 (Alkaline Earth Metals): +2
- Group 17 (Halogens): -1
Ionic Compounds Naming & Formulas
- Ionic compounds are composed of positive and negative ions.
- Naming: name the cation (metal) first, then the anion (nonmetal).
- Writing the formula: use the number of charges on each ion to figure out the subscripts in the formula.
Polyatomic Compounds Naming & Formulas
- Polyatomic ions are groups of atoms with a charge.
- Naming: name the cation first, followed by the polyatomic ion.
- Writing the formula: write the number of charges based on the polyatomic ions required.
Molecular Compounds Naming and Formulas
- Molecular compounds are composed of nonmetals.
- Naming: prefixes indicate the number of each element.
- Writing formula: Prefixes indicate number of each type of atom.
Types of Chemical Reactions (Five Types)
- Synthesis: two or more substances combine to form one product.
- Decomposition: one substance breaks down into two or more substances.
- Combustion: a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen with heat and light.
- Single Displacement: one element replaces another element in a compound.
- Double Displacement: the cations of two ionic compounds switch places.
Law of Conservation of Mass
- Mass of reactants always equal mass of products.
- Matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
- Essential to balance chemical equations.
Counting Atoms
- Determine the number of atoms in a given molecule/compound.
Balancing Equations
- Use coefficients to ensure the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
- Essential to reflect the Law of Conservation of Mass.
Acids & Bases
- Acids: sour taste; corrosive; conduct electricity; change color of indicators.
- Bases: bitter taste; slippery texture; conduct electricity; change color of indicators.
- pH scale measures acidity or basicity.
pH Scale
- A scale from 0 to 14 to measure the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
- pH of 7 is neutral.
- pH below 7 is acidic.
- pH above 7 is basic/alkaline.
